Sometimes revolution is demanded, but normally
evolutionary change is more effective. Evolutionary
change is relatively
painless. However, it is rarely fast enough or comprehensive enough to move
ahead of the curve in an evolving world where stakes are high, and the
response time is short. When faced with market-driven urgency, abrupt and
sometimes disruptive change
may be required to keep the company
competitive. In situations when timing
is critical to success, and companies must get more efficient and productive
rapidly, revolutionary change is demanded. When choosing between evolutionary change and
revolutionary action, you as a leader must pursue a
balanced and pragmatic approach.
